Sundays are Simple – Be Present
I love how this song reminds us to appreciate the simple things in life. See the beauty in nature and see the kindness in friends and strangers alike. When you take time for yourself this week, stop and “smell the roses”. Make sure that you stay present and be in the moment. Enjoy the people you are with and take…
The Power of Music
Music can change the world. Beethoven Music is Powerful! Music has the ability to change our mood.

How Prayer can Help You to Find your Inner Peace

Prayer and Meditation are tools that I use to help me…
Finding your Inner Peace
Being at Peace – how do we get there? Meditation, Prayer, Music? All of the above! As we continue our journey, I would like to show you the cross-over between mediation and prayer; how the two activities are not necessarily independent of each other. I realize that there are folks in this world who are not religious, only spiritual, or…
